About the role

Leadership: The leader for this role is Bruce Anderson, Practice Lead, Data & AI.  He is based in Brisbane and leads our regional Data & AI practice.

  Lead end-to-end solution design for complex data and AI engagements on Microsoft Azure, including assessment of client architectures and the development of strategic roadmaps.
• Provide technical leadership, quality assurance and governance across projects – guiding scope, estimates and technical budgets to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery without sacrificing quality.
• Work directly with client stakeholders and executives to elicit business and technical requirements, resolve project issues, and influence strategic data and AI decisions.
• Design and implement solutions using the Azure data platform, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, including integrating Azure OpenAI and multi-agent systems where appropriate.
• Be AmbITious: This opportunity is not just about what you do today but also about where you can go tomorrow. When you bring your hunger, heart, and harmony to Insight, your potential will be met with continuous opportunities to upskill, earn promotions, and elevate your career.

• Practical AI delivery experience, including Azure OpenAI integration and deployment, familiarity with GPT models and prompt engineering on Azure, and experience building or designing multi-agent systems; dbt experience is highly desirable.
• Strong communicator and leader, with excellent written and verbal communication skills, the ability to translate business needs into technical requirements and architectures, and a track record of mentoring others and influencing senior stakeholders.
• We also value: a bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline, at least two relevant Microsoft certifications, and exposure to TOGAF, ITIL and Agile methodologies.
